Why do you all flag everything?

that post you quoted was asinine.
‘trolling’ IS the loophole. lol.
It allows ABUSE of the report feature because it defines NOTHING.

They need to bring that back, with the caveat that a simple downvote doesn’t hide the post or flag it for GM attention.

It’s worth mentioning when calling for forum improvements that Blizzard bought this forum software from the lowest bidder and has relatively little control over it as far as features and programming goes.

Scalpers with bots ruin that too! Yay

so no one at bliz is actively involved here?
It kinda gives that impression how blizzard itself seems a lot more relaxed about a lot of things than this forum is.

When they are rooted in general consensus, ambiguity doesn’t allow for loopholes. But rigidity does. This isn’t debatable. If it was then sites like these forums would have the most harshest rules in the world, and no forum really has 'em.

Yes.

I literally quoted you providing a thought example of you doing it.

Take it or leave it. These are Blizzard’s forums, and they only moderate the things that gets reported. If people think it is reportable, folks report it - first and only then does Blizzard check it against their own policies.

… yah’, and this is clearly about leeway.

Yah’, except the only reason why you think this is because you are reactionarily going on the assumption that GMs that agree with folks who report things … are incompetent. You kinda have to make this assumption or else nothing else of what you say makes any sense. And if your outlook that “everyone who disagrees with my take on things are incompetent” … that is clearly a you problem, not a forum or moderation problem.

How can a person have over 25k posts? I mean someone should do the math and prove you are an AI bot experiment gone wrong. But then again how can I have over 3 years played time… hmmm

The only things I flag are when people bring their creepy fascist belief structure into these forums.

I don’t need to read more sexist, racist, or homophobic diatribes; I already live in Texas.

No, they just can’t make drastic changes to the forum software. Like, for example, adding likes and dislikes as a feature.

I mean, this forum has been around for what - eight years?

I talk on here at work :dracthyr_shrug: it adds up

This entire forum runs on that particular fallacy, lol.
“Stealing a car is illegal and will result in prison time”
Seems clear enough.
“Doing something someone doesnt like will result in prison time”
Not so clear.
pretty much what we have on this forum with the ‘trolling’ garbage ‘violation’.

oh…I see.
I havent really understood their involvement since the forum changed a while back.

Here’s you a few random examples, I’d give more but I have to leave for a while. I’ve got some things to take care of today, unfortunately.

Yep, so you can search these to verify it.

Forums unironically got more interesting than mythic+

They do it because there’s clearly no consequences. They waste moderator time, they risk the posting privileges of posters who have broken no forum rules and . . . they’re just allowed to keep doing it. They’re literally trying to get people banned from here but they get to go on posting. It’s like if there was no punishment for swatting.

They have discords where they try to get people to report others? How sad is that imagine being bothered so much by a post on a gaming forum you get your discord buddies to report it :rofl:

Yup how sad is that lol. And they think they run this forum. Sad achievement lol.

Because the downvote went away and that’s the closest thing? Not saying it’s right, but it’s my theory.

Looks like your post was unhidden.

I saw that and laughed. The people you’re posting about failed.

I’ve heard of discords specifically made for this purpose but have not seen them myself. With what I’ve seen on Blizzard forums, I wouldn’t be surprised in the very least.

You beat me to it. Thank you for doing this. And those weren’t even ones I witnessed, so add that on.

if you were familiar with the CoC, you’d be well aware that this thread is unsuitable. :crazy_face:

weird… because i don’t see that at all.
i’d ask you to link some, but don’t want to look like i’m baiting you into cross-linking to get you into trouble.
it’s generally pretty easy to tell why things get flagged, and it’s usually always a glaring violation… even if it’s one you’re not familiar with.
